I've read that you can use a shotgun to blow open locks, but I can shoot at a locked door repeatedly and not make any progress. Is there something to this trick that I'm missing?

I'm in the basement of the Tixa prison, and I'm trying to open the "jail cell" style doors. I have a key for the metal doors that I took of a guard. Nobody on my team seems able to pick or pry open those doors, and I don't have any explosives, save some TNT without a detonator. I do have a single LAW, but there's more than one door I need to get through.
Is there a key or switch I can throw to open them?

I think you need a grey "prison key" for those cell doors. Sometimes, you can find one on the ground level of Tixa, but you apparently did not. Some of the soldiers in the Tixa dungeon should be carrying the type of key you need. Kill them, and pick it up (assuming you can get to the body). You should have met Dynamo upstairs; he would be able to pick the locks if necessary.

It turns out that the reason I couldn't find Dynamo is that I didn't go to Alma and ask the miner about him. I guess he doesn't show up until you get the quest? I wonder if I go talk to him now that I've liberated the prison if Dynamo will show up?

Well, it took me a few tries to clear the sector, and then when I finally managed to do so, I went downstairs before getting into the jail cells on the ground level. Is he in one of the cells upstairs? Or is he in the basement somewhere and I just didn't find him?

Dynamo is in a cell on the ground level. Shank is in a cell in the basement. If he didn't show up the first time for some reason or some other bug, I wouldn't count on him showing up for your current game.
